Kuih Tepung Pelita (In A Jar)




Ingredients

 Green layer (Bottom)
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of rice flour
4 cups of water
* few drops of food colouring in green or if you have pandan leaves, you can blend it with water, sieve and use it.

White Layer (Top)
1 cup of Coconut Milk
2 and a half cups of water
6 tablespoons of rice flour
1 teaspoon of salt

Jar or any container.

How to:-


  • Prep the green layer first for this will be at the bottom.
    • Mix the green layer ingredients together.
    • Make sure there's no lump
    • Sieve - guess what, if you don't skip this step, the percentage of having lump is to non-existance. Trust me, for I learned my lesson from the hands-on experience. lol
  • Now, this is where the magic begins.
    • No fancy pot, just use whatever that you have, place it on the cooker, electric or gas.
    • The keyword is "Stir" therefore make no mistake. Whatever happens whilst making this "kuih" you must ensure you keep on stirring it.
  • You can start with maximum heat, as it starts to thicken, reduce the heat to medium.
  • Now you can start to fill up your jar or container, just halfway through.
It'll be the same steps for this white layer. The only difference is this white stuff won't be as thick as the green one.  So don't freak out. 

You shall keep them in the fridge for the best time to eat them are when they are cold.

Happy Cooking

Note: It has been a week since I had this conversation with Kak Ngah about Ramadan, Bazaar Juadah, Tepung Pelita and our late Papa. Fast forward to yesterday where I can no longer resist the craving, I made this kuih. The only container I manage to grab is those pasta sauce jars that I recycled. Hehe. So here’s my version of Kuih Tepung Pelita yang jauh di rantauan. Boleh lah ni.

Lamb Kofta

What you'll need Mince Lamb - 700 grams 1 Onion - Chop it 4 Carrots - grated Capsicum (Red) - chop it. 2 Tomatoes - Chop it 3 Stalks of Spring Onion Note: Make it as tiny as possible. How you do it, it’s up to your creativity. :) Spices  (1 teaspoon each) Garam Masala Corriander Powder Chili Powder 2 Table Spoon of flour Salt to taste How To Mix everything together. I leave this mixture overnight. It tasted better. Most probably because the longer you leave it, the seasoned it'll be. So if you have a skewer, go ahead and grab it. Else just shape it in whichever shape that you'd love. Some will go for the ball shape. the other will do the cylinder shape. Long or short? Your call. Rule of thumb; regardless if you're using the grill of the pan don't turn it until they are well sealed. You'll end up transferring the meat to the grill. Patience is the key. Now, Happy cooking. xx Amy H
